wow.. yes, i am :) lol hope you do a diner review here sometime :o :)
I hadn't heard your show before. It's great!
I've been out here for eleven years and so far I've been hit by a car, a minivan, and I've had a tanker truck run over the front of mine.I'm curious, has 2 meter FM ham band taken any driver talk share from CB and channel 19?
Par for the course!
Metron will chase them off - watch and see!
Imagine that being wrapped in bacon instead of breading - That's what I had! Heaven on Earth, my friend, Heaven on Earth. 🌎
I will try but more of a chance in Jersey.
I was on Long Island the day before Hurricane Sandy hit.
There was a little old Greek man there with a food cart and we talked about how he came to America. I really enjoyed that conversation.
Also, it was the first time I had a Coney Island hot dog!
I'm curious, has 2 meter FM ham band taken any driver talk share from CB and channel 19?
I still run mine on road trips and it seems a lot less drivers have their ears on...

I haven't owned a cb for years. Who the hell wants to talk to some dumb ass truck driver?!LOL!
LOL!
Jest us 4 wheelers who want to know where the bears are... ;D
Been thinking about getting one of these:
I'll bet that a lot of cattle haulers have those.
No doubt in my mind.
No slipstreaming those rigs. ;D
Quite a few years back(8?), I delivered some rolls of paper to the Georgia Pacific plant just south of Jackson, Mississippi. My appointment was for 0300 and when I checked in, they told me to head to the top of the hill and park in the staging area until they called. On my way out they said "and don't give any money to those girls up there because they'll just run off with it."
I drove to the top of the hill and found a spot to park. I noticed the dome light on in the truck next to mine and there sat an old man, smoking a cigarette, with the most indignant look on his face. He motioned for me to roll my window down, and this is what he said:
"These whores keep waking me up and I can't get any sleep. I threw a cup of piss on that last one."
I laughed and laughed and laughed!
He must have gotten his point across because I slept comfortably until I received the call to head down to the loading docks.
I'll never forget that night!
From what I hear you normally have to pay extra for that kind of kinky stuff.
I look forward to your podcast reports:
1) how effective are the various aerodynamics many tractor-trailers are using these days? I wonder what the savings after a period of time, recoup the investment on the mods, etc?
2) do people still hitchhike? To me it would be potentially dangerous both for the driver and the hitchhiker? Illegal in some places also (I always like the signs near prisons or the border warning drivers) and imagine corporate trucking companies would ban in policy.
3) are log books, weigh checks, etc all computerized now?
4) could a trucker take a passenger for pay? Make some cash on the side...
Extra indeed! lol
1.) I think they said that you save (on average) 5-7 percent on fuel costs. It could be 3-5.
2.) They are still out there but I'll be damned if I ever pick one up. Eileen Weirnos(?) comes to mind.
3.) I think they've narrowed it down to 5 trucks or smaller to claim exemption. 2019 requires all of them to be equipped.
4.) Theoretically ... Yes.
Mexican trucks and truckers. Did this happen? Rightwing radio and truckstop papers were up in arms about this when NAFTA and the talk about super-highways, the Amero, etc. Safety issue, job losses, security concerns etc. Did "Mexican Trucks" happen?
Long time lurker, first time poster. I’m not too far from Earle and it was awesome hearing you talk a little about it. Been playing with the idea of doing some kind of paranormal project and Earle is the first location I want to reference. Playing with the idea of calling it Midnight in the Delta. 😉

Wouldn’t you have to technically be near a delta?
Who's gonna tell Dave? 😃
You’re right. He probably thinks the Mississippi delta starts in Minnesota.
Wouldn’t you have to technically be near a delta?
For sure! And I am. It’s flat as hell out here (not in Earle, but too far away). I could defenintely do something on the WM3. They did have the trials in my town, after all. Let me think on it and get back to ya.
A good truckstop/diner near me, Dorsett 221. (because at exit 221) burned down a few years back and then after some time returned as a gaming center. Signs of the times, though I hear it is actually a fun place with beer and lots of pinball machines.

More about the old places on IH-35, some of which are still around and some gone or in new formats like Dorsetts 221.

I always swing by Salado because there is a trailer wash out there.
That was historically a stage-coach stop on the Chisholm Trai,l so interesting to see that modern truckers use it as a stop-off place to wash now! There is a restaurant there in the old building.

13 vial of blood drawn on Friday the 13th. I am glad my appointment wasn’t on the 31st.
They must have forgotten the motto...
Yep. And the free water was nice on a hot day. And have seen the bumper stickers and signs in many places. Was pleasantly surprised to see sign for it outside Amsterdam's Centraal Station.I’ve never been to Rock City, but it sounds like another entry for the bucket list!
Have you seen "Rock City?" They had a somewhat similar advertising campaign.

No, I'd never heard about it until Metron mentioned it. I'll be looking for one!It’s located in Wall, SD. You start to see the billboards from a few states over.

In the old days (maybe now also) South of The Border was a place you could buy fireworks, which were illegal in some places (like N.C.) so popular for the kids (or the kid in all of us.)

Buc-ee approves. Those places are awesome. Buc-ee the Beaver and all are wishing the tests turn out well.
Ahhh, I'm glad I didn't pull in!
Thanks to all for the good wishes. I won’t know anything until at least the 30th when all my tests come back. Definitely have something structural wrong inside my head. Doctor using words like “complicated caseâ€. “Need systems approachâ€. Basically spent all week getting tests and doing a sleep study tonight.
So bottom line when you tell them you have trouble sleeping they have you pay $650 to sleep in a strange bed with wires on your head, chest, abdomen and legs and tubes up your nose. Yep. I am sure I will get a great night’s sleep tonight. I would rather listen to c2c open lines!

Next time you are heading down I-45 at exit 164 in Centerville, stop at Woody’s. Better jerky at better prices, decent diesel prices, clean bathrooms and they have one on both sides of that exit.
I had one of those a few years back. There are all the things you mentioned plus some creeper that looked like Belushi behind a one way mirror "watching" you. I never did fall asleep. Had to repeat the ordeal all over again after they gave me some pills to put me out.
I'm sure you'll sleep like a baby though.
My heart tells me that I will move to Texas one day. I just love it there!
I have 63 acres halfway between Centerville and Waco. A mile from a lake and all woods.
I had one years ago that led to sleep apnea surgery. They woke me up at midnight and asked me to go home. They said I was stopping breathing so much they didn’t want to be held responsible. No bullshit.

Well I've ruined Weiner's thread enough for the night [sorry Weiner]. Good luck Grav!
63 acres in Texas? That's equivalent to what? 1/3 of an acre anywhere else............
Just don't go in February unless you are an outdoorsy type

http://www.wdrb.com/story/27647812/feast-bbq-opening-second-location-in-nulu
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Feast BBQ announces the grand opening of its second location on December 18th, 2014 at 909 E. Market Street in the NULU Neighborhood of downtown Louisville, KY.
It is eager to contribute to the NULU Neighborhood the BBQ recipes, house-made sides, bourbon slushies, and desserts that have made it a destination restaurant in downtown New Albany.
The menu includes traditional BBQ meats such as pulled pork, baby back ribs, brisket, chopped chicken and surprisingly smoked tofu along with house-made sides, and a variety of appetizers, including the ever popular pork cakes, and desserts.
Feast BBQ on Market St. also offers 20 specially selected craft beers on draft from regional breweries and maintains a selection of national craft and domestic beers by the bottle and can.
Initial hours for the second location are Tuesday-Thursday 11am-12am and Friday-Saturday 11am-2am with the kitchen serving food all day.
There are a ton of churches in Louisville, more per capita than any other place that I have been to. I used to go to Louisville often when I lived in Lexington.
I Like the chili-spaghetti in Cincinnati.
THAT will be an episode!
That stuff is freaking ADDICTIVE for sure. ;)

Some serious good eats down that way!
Peeps are cool too:&index=61
;D
Hahaha - yep! Everyone else reading this will think we're crazy.
Yep, that aint chili but spaghetti sauce though I know, for some reason, folks up there call it chili. Waaay too much tomatoes in that "chili." If you insist of having some don't put that many!
Did you know that originally Wolf Brand Chili was sold in chili "bricks?"

How are you feeling?
Probably manic. I figured out at least two things that are wrong with me before the doctors I have been seeing. Gotta call the doctor in a couple of hours to make a new appt and gotta call a bunch of others and tell them they totally missed this major component for the last 25 years.

Well, sometimes...
Yum. You got to get some BBQ when you are driving around here and Tex-Mex.
On I-10 a good place to stop for Kolaches is in Ellinger called Hruskas (lots of people from Bohemia, Moravia, etc moved there.( You can't miss it because it is right on the road and they lower the speed-limit there, suspiciously. Good burgers also.
Cool Mack, they have a truck museum there?
Peaceful spot, not much a good porch swing and rocker can't cure... :D
Don't forget the guitar!

One time I was in the Florida pan handle and I'm not sure why but I was in piss poor mood. Anyways, I shut down at the TA truck stop there and went inside to the restaurant and grabbed a spot at the counter.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
The waitress was new but you could tell that she was trying her best and that's all I ever ask, so I relaxed a bit and started up a good conversation with the driver next to me.
Now, at the end of the counter sat this big 'ol boy and he couldn't leave that poor girl alone and I saw in her eyes that she was about to break.
I turned to him and said "Do you know what big men and beautiful women have in common? They haven't heard nearly enough that nobody gives a shit what they think." I'm sure that I picked it up in a movie or somewhere - but it fit and the counter erupted with laughter!
I thought there would be no way out of getting my ass beat that day but he quieted down, payed his bill and left.
Believe it or not - but that's exactly how it happened!

Ya tell a good story WIH, is that going on KONR?
So interesting that Ange developed those hard left politics.
He and I might not have had much to agree on, but if you ever get the time see the best performance he ever gave in a film that speaks for itself:
There's a story about my grandfather who was an over the road trucker. One time he brought back dozens, if not scores, of cases of Coors from out west. Not at all shady and completely above board, of course.
Thanks! Yeah, it's cycling through out the day.

The need to watch lists gets longer, as I EllGab!
can't wait for your next episode :) ;)
Ha, I also found this TV movie he did in the early 80's that was based on a real police case. Ed and Lorraine Warren wrote a book about the case. Kevin Bacon is also one of the leads.
Dick Clark produced it.
Hey, I saw that when I was a little kid!
I somehow missed it. Glad it is up on youtube so I'll give it a go later tonight. Here is Wiki's entry about the details of the case.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Arne_Cheyenne_Johnson
Did you see that Discovery included it in their "The Haunting" series? That might be an hour well spent.
That was a very young Kevin Bacon.
I have some repressed memory of this TV flic - was it...good???
Sometimes I deliver to a place in Gloucester, Massachusetts and I will shut down behind the plant for the night. This is my bedroom view on those nights.

I was driving US80 westbound through Columbus, Georgia and I had just crossed the Alabama state line. Dusk was creeping in and as I reached the top of a hill, I noticed a terrible accident in front of me.
A pick up truck left the road and struck a guard rail head-on, forcing the engine onto the driver.
It turned out that the driver only had one leg and that was the one that the engine was on top of.
We couldn't get him out and there was gas and all kinds of other fluids pouring out onto the ground.
I went to my truck and grabbed my fire extinguisher, a legal pad, and a sharpie.
I sat down in the passenger seat of his truck and showed him the extinguisher and told him that I wasn't going anywhere until help arrived.
He calmed down a bit and so I started taking down his medical history and contact information and gave it to the medics once they arrived.
I overheard the fire crew saying that he died on the way to the hospital. I cried that day...
That's sad. At least you were there to help someone in their last moments. If that truck had blown up, it would have taken others out as well, so you really did save lives that day.

I can't find now but some years ago I bought a CD of German trucker songs. Simply becauae amazed existed. At the time, or some years prior, the trucker craze hit Germany. So CB style songs etc and they already liked Westerns etc. Weird stuff. Like kraut Red Sovine. Interesting Euros were big on American stuff like jazz, blue grass, C&W and made good recordings.
I agree! I just listened to all the files and all the pictures and can't wait to hear and see more :)

Thank you SpookCat! I'm glad that you enjoyed them. ☺
If you've had a good meal lately, or an interesting travel tale - share it here!
Past two years I've been stationary in Japan. It's not bad, but I miss the Midwest from time to time. There was a good diner in Northwest Missouri where I tried my first fried cat fish. I was a really good diner, but they closed sometime in the last few years :(
If you're ever in the Iowa City area, they have a place called Hamburg Inn #2 that's good and popular. Just don't go around election times, because a lot of politicians go there for their whole "I'm just like you!" stuff.
Their Bumbleberry pie was a favorite of mine.

Those jalapeno poppers are easy by the way. Box of cream cheese, bag of shredded cheddar and the rest is up to you. Garlic, hell, leftover bbq meat, veggies. Then shove it all into a fresh jalapeno half and either wrap it in bacon and bake it or dip it in flour, egg, panko, and fry it. GOOD EATS.
Hahaha - somebody just smote me - thanks for listening!I know I've been getting smote all day also. I STILL HAVE EVELYN PAGLINI'S OILS ASSHOLES! ;D

EDIT Also, football home game days. Those are terrible in Iowa City....
What is the view of OTR truckers on RVs? I still sorta amazed that normal license can drive them, even with trailer. Buddy has a nice one n hauls his toys whereever. He is a good driver but still. Simply due to not reticulated or not hauling weight it is legal? Length alone though? Weird laws or lobby? And bus sized but I think you need commercial for a bus (but only if charging, running a business.)

Missouri is great! Cheap smokes and big slabs of beef. There is a pie place that boasts a one foot tall pie and I've always said that one day I am going to stop.
How does Japan do American food? Is there an Asian spin?

The portions are much smaller. Large drink sizes are an American medium at most. They also don't salt their fries enough or usually have enough black pepper on their food. Mayonnaise is the main condiment here. Pizzas main topping is cheese, corn and mayo. And there's usually a soft boiled egg on the food somewhere. on burgers, pastas, vegetables... Fish also have faces still and scales. That part freaked me out the most.
Egg,yes - fishface, no! lol
I am always amazed when I watch them eat live aquatics. I don't think that I could do it.
It's a cultural thing, I do understand that.
Dove hunting we'd make a version of those on grill after kill with meat. Perfect size cause small birds. We'd leave all seeds in at least one fresh jap and laugh who got it!Haaa! That will certainly wake someone up! OMG Dove. That would be sooo delicious.

THAT was a surpise. MAYO. While I like it or some things didnt know popular there. A result of new EU/Jap trade deal to have on fries? Ha, kidding. The egg also is good, but I like at least cooked a bit. Lots of the Oriental (and again places in Low-Countries n France do the raw deal as a topping.) Not good.
I'm not sure I could deal with the aforementioned mayo on a pizza either..............
I'm too scared to try squid and octopus. The locals laugh when I cringe away from things with tentacles. I'm not into wiggly things!
It's not a dislike of posts as much as a jealousy of attention, me thinks...Agree. As if there weren't five thousand other threads to chime in on.

Ha!
Agreed. I suppose steak and other beef would be rare because of the lack of land. I mean, aside from import.
Cucumbers are different sizes:

Was hungover n missing all day n not much around n gave up once n also saving shells, as excuse, n trying to recover but got a one-shot, two-kills when finally goaded n sick of ribbing. It was a particular extra hot humid day but the one-shot, two kill felt awesome.
They have beef, and how it tastes varies depending on the types you get and what you do with it. Most of the meat is seafood, chicken and pork though.
Ha!
Poor soil quality would explain that.
Secondly, I'll take mine American. Ma'am!
I got some bad karma, not that I believe that Asian stuff, but appreciate our Christian teachings (hey I'm stirring it up) one time when a particular obnoxious friend of friend (ended up being some client type of deal under a pretext as friend, buddy who figured out pretex. Guest for fun time of fishing and hunting got a burger with a Copenhagen seasoning.) I and nobody else knew but he self-policed. Disappeared til next morning.
I will give them credit, they have super cute desserts, especially around Christmas!

My tale from the winter road. I often drive winter roads, many of the same ones that you may have seen on Ice Road Truckers. Not in a semi, but in a half ton. The days are long and the roads aren't usually as flat as in the video. Sometimes you don't see another vehicle for many hours and sometimes the locals just won't get out of your way!
I came upon this group of caribou that would not let me pass. I finally had to get serious, put down the phone, get both hands on the wheel, and squeeze past them. They did not want to leave the road and I did not want to run them to exhaustion. Jumpy buggers were all over the place. Pick a lane!
Nice! I'm particular to the kitten and koi pic.
That same damn thing happened to me in New Mexico! They ain't afraid at all, are they?
Strength in numbers, I suppose...
I just listened to your 2 latest tales from the road and I thought you might like my idea for coffee guaranteed to be consistent anywhere, or at least as part of your emergency supplies. Space Coffee - yes, the brands they have been drinking in space for coffee for the last 50 plus years in the various options (black, with cream, with sugar and cream with sugar) Except they have had to settle with it only at about 120°F.
If you have one of those cigarette lighter water heaters, bring the water to just short of about 180°F and it will mix perfectly.
Nope, not scared at all. I was leaning on the horn too. As soon as it looked like I had room to pass, I would be at a curve or somebody would jump in front of me. Snow was very deep so I guess the road was easier going for them. I saw many a butchered carcass along the side. Easy pickens when you are out in the open (illegal to shoot from and on to the road, but it happens).
You know I always deliver the cat pictures :) Have a good night!

I was driving US80 westbound through Columbus, Georgia and I had just crossed the Alabama state line. Dusk was creeping in and as I reached the top of a hill, I noticed a terrible accident in front of me.
A pick up truck left the road and struck a guard rail head-on, forcing the engine onto the driver.
It turned out that the driver only had one leg and that was the one that the engine was on top of.
We couldn't get him out and there was gas and all kinds of other fluids pouring out onto the ground.
I went to my truck and grabbed my fire extinguisher, a legal pad, and a sharpie.
I sat down in the passenger seat of his truck and showed him the extinguisher and told him that I wasn't going anywhere until help arrived.
He calmed down a bit and so I started taking down his medical history and contact information and gave it to the medics once they arrived.
I overheard the fire crew saying that he died on the way to the hospital. I cried that day...

You've hit the nail on the head.
They should be regulated -- not overly so but there needs to be some training.
Just today I had one come into my lane when they were passing me.

I know that a lot of people like to have my ratings on truck stop coffee but I usually use instant because it is less time consuming to pull onto an exit and make a cup myself than to pull into a truck stop and wait in line.
I have storage space under my bunk so I will stock up when I can. Coffee, pickles and peppers for my diet, and some cereal to satisfy my sweet tooth so that I may avoid too many pies!
My favorite instant coffee is Nescafe Clasico Dark. The flavor is great but I like it because it dissolves easily at room temperature.
You have incredible presence of mind and calm to have reacted thusly. There's a reason drivers came to be known as the "knights of the road" and with that simple yet poignant tale of human dignity and compassion you have refilled my spiritual fuel tank with the octane of blessed fellowship.
I am honored to have shared electrons with you here Weiner, you just made cyber real.
God Bless.

Have to agree with you 100%.
I've driven class C, A, trailer, 5th wheel, etc.
Each one was learn as you go. I still get a little nervous when passing a big rig and that slipstream suction happens, not sure if that's the right term but you probably know what I mean, there's a dead air pocket that you get sucked into it a wee bit. :-\
Maybe that's what happened to you today?
Agreed. Nescafe Classico Dark is the best instant coffee. About 2 decades ago Nescafe tried this weird deal. Not sure if ever sold here but in Scotland they had this can that used some mechanical/chemical device so that you could pop it and it would heat up the coffee. It "worked" but never really got super hot but did get warm. But it was waaay to milky for my tastes. A weird thing though and hilarious commercial that is not politically-correct.
When it comes to coffee, you are loaded for bear. The sweet pickles and peppers are a great idea to avoid the pastry belly...its amazing the things I am learning on your thread.
Hi, Weiner.. such a busy thread.. any new podcasts for me? :) ;)
Not today, Toots, sorry. Today, tomorrow, and Saturday are long days with not much time.
After that, if they don't put a load on me, I'll have something cool! 😎
ok.. can't wait.. great pics too :) ;)

Thanks Metron! It's been a real pleasure to have met you, my friend. Hahaha - I still get a kick out of when I told Bart that I wasn't worried about someone messing up my thread because you'd run them off!
I-40 westbound through the Great Smoky Mountains, from North Carolina to Tennessee.
I had more but the file size maxed out at two.
That looks like it'd be a bear in the snow and ice season. :o
Did you ever watch Ice Road Truckers?
Every once in a while but I have noooo desire to do that! Do you know what I was thinking about doing? They need truck drivers in the Middle East to drive in those convoys.
It pays 250,000 a year and you can sign for three years. Also, if you die they provide 100,000 life insurance.
It's awful tempting sometimes...
Wow, two things "jump out" at me.
1. They're moving at a pretty good clip.
2. The hood your truck is super clean - no melt to worry about?
Great video, tnx for sharing. ;)
Thanks! I was surprised at the speed. Anywhere from 40 - 60 kph if I recall. Too cold for any melt.
Did you ever watch Ice Road Truckers?
I had a Middle Eastern friend in college that told me driving on sand is much deadlier than driving on ice.
So beautiful up there, that a Chev or GMC?Same shit, different shovel? ;D But seriously, I really don't remember. I work for for the federal government and drive many different vehicles to remote northern nursing stations only accessible by winter roads. Ford, Dodge, GM & Chevy. Probably whichever is the cheaper model of the two, the government doesn't like to spend too much money. Very peaceful when you're in the middle of nowhere. I like to stop night, -40 deg celsius, turn off the engine and take a walk. Dead silence, not a soul around, no birds, no insects, nothing.
I watched it a lot to see Lisa!

Their office (Polar Industries) is just down the road from my house, 10 minutes away. I missed the crew & Lisa filming in a community I drove to by one day. Most (but not all) of the drama when they travel over ice is just straight up made for TV drama bullshit.

Wow, German Red Sovine you say, mein Gott!
Fire up Phantom 309....
Road Tale #2 AKA the day I got my Indian name. As I came around a bend of this gravel road I saw a large black spot in the distance. I didn't realize what it was until I stopped beside it, about 12 feet away. It was a small bear. I thought that maybe somebody had hit it with their vehicle as it was not moving. I took out my phone to snap a picture of it. No sooner had I focused the frame, the little bear jumped up and started booking double time towards me. You can't tell in the picture, but it had huge, curved, flesh slicing claws. It was within inches of my open window in a split second. I dropped the phone, hammered on the gas pedal and peeled out of there showering it in a hail of gravel. I guess it was just stopping for a pee on the road (notice the little wet spot behind it). I saw 8 other bears that day! It was in the spring, so I'm guessing that's bear season. When I excitedly told my story to the First Nations guy at my destination he laughed and told me I now have my Indian name. Shawn Nine Bears. I'm just glad I didn't get a flat as I would have been totally sketched out changing a tire.

Tennessee: from one side to the other.
(I-40 eastbound)
Headed into NC?
Yeah, it'll take you to Asheville.
Sorry - should have been more clear. Was just wondering if your destination was in NC today...............
No, I'm shut down in Paducah, Kentucky right now en route to Lincoln, Nebraska.
Those pics were just something that I dug out of facebook. Maybe from three years ago.

I am telling you dude. You have to do food reviews of Joe Tess’s and at least one Runza Hut.
I see. I'm in NC so was gonna welcome you to the Tar Heel State but you are headed in the opposite direction.
Guess you won't have alot of steep grades to deal with in Nebraska.
As a matter of fact - I'll be swinging into that Runza Hut!
I better get a shoutout this time. And if you ever make it to the south side of Houston or near the Johnson Space Center let me know. Even Galveston.
Remember, the Rockies start in western NE!
I was in Raleigh two days ago.
Yeah and the telephone pole is the state tree.
Dodge is the longest main street in America.
There is a fat checkpoint on I80 at council bluffs and an ugly checkpoint just before the Colorado state line. Or at least there used to be.
Remember, the Rockies start in western NE!
I was in Raleigh two days ago.
I was surprised at how small Dodge was - just a lot of meat processing plants.
I will take your word for it on NE, I've only been through it once and all I remember was flat and corn.
I'm a transplanted Detroit guy in Raleigh now. Hope you had a good visit to 'Our fair city'..............
I used to be the only white guy on the Union Meat Packing tournament softball team. I have been to places in Omaha no white man had been before.
I'm going to do a Midnight in the Diner episode of the Kenly Petro one of these days.
I'm down in Smithfield quite a bit.
Hey, what's that soda that they sell a hot version of down there? It's not Cheerwine.
Kenly is in a black hole for me. If I'm headed south, I pick up 95 at Benson. If I'm headed north, I'm on 85 and don't pick 95 up until Virginia.
Cheerwine is the big one, but I'm guessing Waynesville might be the brand you are thinking of.

Hey Toots! ☺
Yeah, I'm a little concerned myself...
Just caught up on this thread!
In the UK we have people who are unofficially designated National Treasures. You are a treasure of EllGab Weiner! I'm loving this snapshot into your life! My dad was a trucker - lorry driver of the year (we call even the big rigs lorries here) in the UK 3 times! A lot of what you post reminds me of my dad. It's kinda bittersweet as I loved my dad cause he was my dad but wasn't overly keen on him, but your tales Weiner are kind of softening his memory so thank you :)
Spookcat - I don't know if you have tried Okonomiyaki yet but you must - OMFG.
You take the Leona schedule to heart it seems.
Not even one show a week, hours and hours of crying on the phone to me and you refuse to take real open line calls.
Awww, thanks for those kind words, it means a lot! This is a strange way out here and I know that people are curious as to how we go about things so I thought that it might make an interesting thread for EllGab. If sharing my experiences out here has shed some light as to why we have some jagged edges, and has helped in softening a harsh memory? Well, I'll consider that a high honor, and my pleasure.
Welp, alright, clean that seat off and climb up in here - they switched things up and we've got 650 miles to Dexter, Texas by tomorrow, 4pm.
Time's a wastin'!
Watch out for ghosts.

Have you tried sending him a personal message? Those send a notice to our email addresses. Hopefully the Elluminati haven't fully initiated him.
I completely forgot to take pictures until the very last minute, so here's the Peterbuilt plant down the road. 😬

My balcony view and the really expensive slice of cheese cake from the time that I broke down in Chattanooga. I remember later on that evening, being pretty lit up from my visit to the in-house bar, and eating that cheese cake as I watched the bustle below.
Ooh, cheesecake!

Congrats on the new status ;)
Hey, Weiner, have you heard the Weiner Game of Thrones Parody song from South Park?
That place looks like a good time!
Haha - no! Any good?
You probably don't want to listen to this in public or at work. Just saying. It IS South Park, after all.
Disturbing!
Aww! You don't want a chorus of men singing your name? 😂😂😂

A campsite with some doritos, some macaroni salad, some hotdogs, and a few beers sounds really good right about now. Thanks Toots! 😃
I now know what I'll be doing when I get home in a few days.
Probably always feels better to have your own weiner in hand in your own home. Unless you drive a Peterbilt.
I've learned to drive and shift with one hand -- it's tricky but it can be done... 😃
Must make for a messy logbook. Still waiting for that Runza Hut review.
They had me switch out that load in Saint Louis for one to Dallas. I'm in West Memphis now, en route to Richmond, VA. Afterwards, home to Ohio.
hey Weiner.. you have a download for your latest podcast? :) ;)
It's the one from the other day but here you go!
There is some really good classic rock and r&b on KONR - give it a try.
thanks, weiner.. luv, toots ;) :)😉
One page away from being New Falkie.
You can do it, Weenie!
I might have record an episode of Tales from the Road real quick - and then market the hell out of it! 😃😄
Do it, I will add diner sounds and fireworks!
Congratulations on Elluminati status, Weiner!
Johnson City, Tennessee.
Yep, rain! ☔
Dear WeinerInHand,
Do those 6†chrome lugnut extensions on the front wheels of some big rigs have any really functionality and if so please explain what it is. Is it a certified 6�
I have an unrequited crush on a guy from Johnson City. Tn... :-\ 8)
and congrats on new status :) ;)
Be happy you weren't hauling stuff on IH-35 in Austin today. Shut down near me for over 4 hours. Friend trapped on fly-over ramp so no way off the whole time. People ran out of gas, tried to do illegal moves to get out, and general traffic chaos. There initially was an accident and then vehicle and rass-fire. Then the guy, who apparently was drunk, told the cops he had a bomb. (Earlier reports were that a "suspicious package" was being investigated.) Nothing like tacking on a bomb charge after you get a drunk driving charge and accident. Wise move. ;)

Ha! What an idiot. Hopefully, he'll be placed away to where he doesn't have to think for himself for a long, long time.
This is why we can't have nice things! 😒
Yeah, I'm sure his lawyer (and likely him when he sobers up) will be shaking his head "and so you figured a way to get out of a drunk driving accident is to claim you have a bomb??) With terrorism, cartels, and the recent Austin bomber the police can't mess around and so had to shut everything down and search "bomb" out of "abundance of caution.) There were good Samaritans who climbed up the access ramps and went to side of highway with gas cans to help those who ran out of gas.

I tell my wife about this,, she doesn't believe me nor would she be within 10 feet of it if I cooked it. I loved the stuff. You have to fry it crisp for the best taste.I'd give a try but I think that a thickly sliced fried bologna or spam sandwich with just a touch of mustard suits me when I have a taste for things along this line.
It could be worse. It could be freezing rain.All in time, my friend, in time. Once or twice a year I get caught in it - I shut down immediately and refuse to move. 😬
I'm late to this thread so catching up. I was looking through the listings and this sounded cool. I drove a Bobtail for a while here in Houston, Corpus Christi and Kerrville. Not over the road, but we'd get around. And granted, not a semi. Look forward to reading through and trying the podcast. Is that somewhere I can download a bunch of episodes or just posted here?I did a disk clean-up on my phone and the damn thing deleted them so no, I don't have them but they are on this thread. Sorry. 😯

Hey Weiner, had a chance to listen to the podcast episodes. Nicely done. I enjoyed them.Hahaha - Bart already told me that I wasn't allowed to go on strike like Falkie does!
Now the trick is you gotta keep doing them as you are for future episodes. Don't go gettin' all Hollywood on us and having James Earl Jones start narrating for you and stuff like that.
Hahaha - Bart already told me that I wasn't allowed to go on strike like Falkie does!

Happy Birthday Weiner.Thank you!
Weiner, How's that Note?I haven't really spent too awful much time with it yet but I will say that my old phone had a total storage of 48meg while the note will have a storage of 320meg so that will end a lot of my problems. Eh, it doesn't seem as sturdy as my LG-GStylo but I'm careful with my stuff, for the most part.

That's a lot of storage. I know you mean GB instead of MB. I remember when 320mb was a lot. Nowadays, it's a game or two. Those Notes I've heard are great phones. We're still using our S4's. They do everything and more that I use it for, but Bart recommended us to upgrade to S5's and go all modern. So funny.I bought that note8 unlocked with the assurance that it would work ...nope! I tried four different carriers and none wanted anything to do with it. THIS is why I hate change!!!!

Hey Weiner, how many of the states have you been to in your hauls? And I know you're on the job, but do you ever get a chance to hit those crazy Roadside Attractions? I love those things, no matter how tacky.Hawaii, Alaska, California, and Nevada are the only four that I've not been to. I rarely get a chance to stop and most don't have truck parking anyways. There are some unique truck stops out there that I try to visit when I can.
Nice toys, Happy Birthday and sweet donation. WiH you're a great guy!Thanks Moosie - I am loving my laptop! The phone? Ehhh ...it's alright.

Hey Weiner,
What city sucks the most for trucks to drive in?
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Does that thing run hot when it gets into the games? I had a gaming laptop years ago that would run all the games really good, but you couldn't put your hand in front of the fan exhaust. It was like a hairdryer. And that wasn't even close to the power yours has.
oOo That looks nice!
I bought this chill tray for thirty bucks and I haven't had a problem yet.
I bought this chill tray for thirty bucks and I haven't had a problem yet.
I hate to say it because I live about 45 minutes from it but Cleveland, Ohio has some of the biggest assholes ever placed behind a wheel - they do things in spite.
I'm not a fan of the whole northeastern part of the country because things are old and not designed for big trucks.
Don't get lost in Pittsburgh in a big truck because there are waaaaay too many low bridges in that town!
Otherwise, all cities have a different "feel" to them and once you get that down - you'll be alright.

Not a problem :) I hope you're being good to yourself.
Ahhh - a bit too good! I hope that Japan is being good to you as well. If I were to ever go to Japan, I would spend most of my time researching the Samurai and Bushido culture.
Japan is really good right now. Halloween is in full swing and soon they go nuts with advertising fried chicken and elaborate cakes for Christmas then shutting down many places when new year comes. 2019 brings in Year of the Boar.
I'll bet you get questioned a lot about what America is like. (Make sure to tell them that truck drivers are ...awesome.)
Surprisingly not. People mostly ignore foreigners here. I think they get a lot from movies.In keeping with thread: are there Japanese Truckers or is most by train or vessel? If trucker is there a sub-culture of music dedicated to truckers? As mentioned before I was fascinated to find out that in Europe, especially Germany but also elsewhere, there was "trucker" music- in their languages but somewhat like the USA trucker music that was most popular in the late 70's but still exits, to an extent. Essentially C&Wesque music but instead of horses etc about trucking; missing family back home, travails on the road, deaths on the road, love, speed traps and weight checks, etc.

I think it's mostly by air or sea, as Japan really just a bunch of different-sized islands. I'm not sure about music. They do have "dekotora" though!Wow. Like Asia (MiddleEast) or Mex etc bus n truck decoration but more electronics n lights. But look like good trucks n safer, though can't imagine legal- disco lights when driving? Distraction for others...and driver. Thanks for posting.

Hahaha- have you seen any of these in person?I haven't. I've seen car versions called itasha or "painful car"

Hey, Weiner., gorgeous pic. thank you :) ;)
Fall arrives in Knoxville.Nice. As a professional driver which State has the worst highways? I always thought LA was bad but I saw some survey that said Washington, D.C. (that is not a State but the internet "news" doesn't fact check or have editors) and another said RI. Both small places so I don't really count them when we are talking highways.

Have you ever had the chance to meet my buddy Johnny?
I've never been to California so I have no educated opinion. A few notes:Thanks. I was talking Louisiana btw, though LA is bad but from what I seen it was more the traffic. I, seriously, made it through New Mexico faster than I made it across L.A. once. Yes, I was driving through Illinois at it was bad. I'm was thinking more of actual physical surface conditions and design; not as much traffic, driver personalities, etc. E. Washington has some bad roads (I suspect weather etc) and almost suicidal ways to cross highways. Instead of over or under pass you "gun it" into a small middle lane and then stop, based on traffic, and then "gun it" to accelerate into traffic pattern.
* Illinois and Michigan are tied for total bad roads.
* D.C. sucks more for the hateful drivers than the bad roads.
* Delaware and Massachusetts are okay if you know what times to drive.
* Rhode Island and Connecticut just aren't designed for 53 foot trailers.
* New Jersey is a functional madhouse and you can learn to pattern your driving accordingly.
* Big trucks should not be allowed in New York City. Plain and Simple.
* The cities in North Carolina suffer due to poor planning - not bad roads.
* The east coast of Florida is hectic while the west coast is much more relaxed.
* Memphis has the worst roads. Period.
Other than that, you just have to learn to drive the cities on an individual basis.

Ahhh, I forgot Louisiana! Yes, weathered roads and God awful city planning. I love the people so I suppose that I overlooked it. Most times, I'll refuse loads to New Orleans because the roads just aren't designed for big trucks and the places you deliver to are just as thoughtless in layout. Baton Rouge isn't much better.Yeah folks are great but lots of corruption and crappy roads. And I think suspect construction (somebody's cousin gets the contract, budget misallocated, taxation system broken, etc.)

I had to do a double take on that billboard. I thought it was saying it was 90 degrees....
Be safe out there, Weiner! Winter is starting to hit some places.

Ever get into CA, NV and have to put on snow chains?
I'll be caught in Colorado every now and then when they enforce the chain laws but I just shut down until the ban is lifted.
You don't make any money running 30mph and getting all white knuckled - best to see what the next day brings...

Makes perfect sense to me. Are most able to do that or would it depend on the company they work for or the particular load type?
I mostly haul meat or candy over the mountains, so that grants me leeway. An owner-operator or someone who lives in the area may feel a bit of pressure.
The truth is that I've been out here about eleven years now and I have never been faulted for an accident and so these companies need a few drivers like me to offset those that are real good runners, but burning up their license.
A speeding ticket and a few overweights are all that I have on my record(they may have been removed by now) - so I can go anywhere to work - and my company knows it - so they leave me to my own judgement.
That’s good. Just had a friend of mine become a long haul trucker. I assume that’s the correct term. He’s gone for the week and generally home on the weekends. Usually leaving Sunday night.
Yeah, long haul or over-the-road - same difference.
It's any driver who doesn't go home every night.
Long haul usually gets paid by the mile and local drivers get paid by the hour.
The North West, for sure.Yeah the contrast between the irrigated land and the desert, the scablands, and coolies, and the mountains, the almost desert and the Palouse, etc.

He drove 5 or 6 car haulers for a few years north east and decided to hit the road going anywhere and every where. I must say that I envy you guys sometimes. It’s got to be great seeing the country like that. I have spells where I travel for work but nothing like this. Sitting in the office bores the shit out of me. I had to ask about how showering went. He told me that surprisingly a lot of truck stops have showers/private bathrooms that are really nice and better than some hotels. Sent a few pics and I was amazed.

We need a live stream Weiner Cam mounted on your truck.
Ah! I haven't been there in years!
I'll start a GoFundMe for a gopro!

Go for it. I’m sure we could rally up enough to get the Weiner Cam. Unfortunately streaming may be a bit costly though.

That really looks like chicken fried steak under that ice cream....I really hope it's not. ^^;
THAT, my dear, in an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookie is MUCH better with ice cream than chicken fried steak. :)
That's not ice cream, it's half frozen sausage gravy.
Good morning all. I have been baking all morning and am finally sitting with my tea to catch up here. Wishing every one a wonderful thanksgiving. May the calories not stick to you 🤗
Must have been a big load dropped after that feast.
It went as well as expected...

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

Still trucking or did you buy that GoPro and decide to make snuff films instead?
No, he's still trucking.
